# The Art Bulletin (the-art-bulletin)

## Journal positioning

The Art Bulletin is the College Art Association's flagship scholarly journal and the
leading generalist venue for art history across **all periods, media, and world
regions** — from antiquity to the contemporary, painting to architecture to material
and visual culture. Its defining expectation is a substantial, original scholarly
argument whose significance reaches **beyond the single object or local specialty**:
work that art historians in other fields will find consequential, grounded in close
visual and material analysis and full command of primary sources. A descriptive object
study, a connoisseurial note, or an attribution claim with no larger art-historical
stake is a poor fit here, however sound. This skill is a **fit / venue-selection /
re-framing** aid. It does not replace the journal's current submission guidelines.
